  • Improving English While Listening to Great Books!

    Funded Nov 27, 2008

    I owe a huge THANK YOU to you! My students and I are so thrilled that our request has become a reality! I know my students' language acquisition will be very much improved as they are able to model the speech patterns they hear. Not only will their English improve from your generous contribution, but they will also make great gains in their reading comprehension and fluency. Thank you so much for your wonderful gift!

    Sincerely,

    Ms. ”

  • Different Instruction for Different Students

    Funded Dec 31, 2008

    I am so grateful for your generosity! The school you are donating to has been in need for so long of basic working supplies, such as a copy machine. It is so important to be able to supply students with adequate practice based on their needs. Through this copy machine, teachers will finally be able to modify practice and assessments to meet these needs. As a third grade teacher, I am so inspired by my students motivation and excitement to learn. Not having the basic equipment to facilitate them in their educational journey has been tremendously hard.

    Again, I am so grateful for your contribution. Thank you!!! Have a wonderful New Year!

    Kindly,

    Jenn”
